BLT CUPS



BLT Cups image

These appetizers are easy to make and very addictive. I have converted tomato-haters to lovers of these BLT cups. I love that they can be made ahead of time and then a quick spoonful in a cup to serve. You can never make too many - they will fly in a second. The BLT mix can be made in advance and kept refrigerated. Remove from fridge 1/2 hour before serving. You can use butter instead of olive oil, if desired.

BLT CHEESE CUPS



BLT Cheese Cups image

Chewy cheese cups hold crisp lettuce, salty bacon, and fresh tomato in this low-carb version of a BLT. The cheese cups are chewy in a good way, like the browned edges of cheese pizza or lasagna that gets stuck to the pan.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
1 medium Roma tomato, chopped
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange 3 tablespoons Cheddar cheese in a 4-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat to make 1 more circle.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Turn a muffin tip upside-down. Invert the parchment paper over the muffin tin and line one cheese circle up with one muffin cup. Slowly peel the parchment back from the cheese circle, using an offset spatula or small knife to release the cheese from the paper. Form the cheese around the muffin cup and hold it for 5 seconds to help mold into a cup shape. Repeat the process with the remaining cheese circle.
  • Make 2 more cheese cups with remaining cheese by following the same process.
  • Toss lettuce, tomato, and bacon together in a small bowl to combine; divide mixture evenly among cheese cups.
  • Stir mayonnaise and chives together in a small bowl and divide evenly between cheese cups. Season with salt and pepper.
